Our Arise Tutor, Shannan Swindler, has been teaching this class for 3 years with excellent reviews on the curriculum and live class sessions.  She recognizes that not all students adapt well to live online classes.  The popularity of this curriculum has allowed her to create individual self-paced courses based on continents.

It is anticipated that the entire self-paced version of the course will be available in summer 2023.

Until then, get started learning about ancient Egypt, the Central African Republic, the Great Sahara Desert, the Serengeti Plains, and difficult-to-pronounce countries like Burkina Faso and Seychelles.  Discover the largest waterfall in Africa and the person who discovered it. These Africa Worksheets and geography lessons contain rich information that will allow your student to enjoy a variety of project ideas as they also complete two projects based on 2 themes of geography. The history of Africa is as vast as the geography of Africa, so it is an opportunity to blend the two subjects and explore the entire map of Africa from a historical, geographical and cultural point of view. The best part is when students will come to you with the interesting facts and current events they learned whilst studying the second-largest continent.  Be prepared for lively dinner conversations and thoughtful questions!

Here’s what parents & students are saying:

My favorite continent was Africa because Africa fascinates me so much I love it, and their culture is head-turning! Also, I think that Africa is easy to study😁. My favorite assignment was Project 2: Environmental/Human Problems, but the assignment I’m most proud of is Project 1: Place because I put a TON of time into it. ~ER, S2 (Scotland)/8th Grader (US)/ Grade 9 (England)

Since we started the Africa geography study from Captivating Compass with my two boys,  geography went from being our least favorite topic,  to being one of our favorites! Their previous geography book was quite boring, so we didn’t hesitate to change the curriculum in the middle of the year and we are not disappointed!  ~RA, European Home Educating Mom

“This has been THE MOST fascinating class. Y’all need to sign your kids up. The project our son just turned in brought tears to my eyes. Shannan Swindler is so thoughtful with delivering a love of geography to her students. Thank you for creating a space where learning and creativity meet and produce great family dinner talks.” ~CF, USA Homeschool Mom

If you want your kids to have a much better comprehensive knowledge and grasp of world geography than almost everyone, and have some fun doing it, then this is the curriculum for you. ~TJS UK Homeschool Dad
